DCU unaffected by service strike

DUBLIN City University was one of the few public service workplaces unaffected by yesterday’s strike.

About 700 staff at the northside campus are represented by SIPTU and voted against participating in the strike or in taking industrial action in relation to the threat of pay cuts.

SIPTU education branch organiser said members in the Higher Education Authority (HEA) and the Royal Irish Academy (RIA) had also balloted against the strike.
